A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS...

 Sharon of Re-Inspired is a woman-owned and operated business, along with her inspired colleague Colleen offering a combination of furnishing and home decor services. 

From antique and vintage pieces to hand-painted furniture, she has something for everyone. We highly recommend her workshops, classes, and consultation service! 

They have been with us from our very beginnings!  We love, love, love Re-Inspired.  

Like alot of people one of Lucy and Ethel's go-to for entertaining is the cheese board.  Who doesn't love a good cheese board? It's the kind of thing you can set and forget. A staple really.

But every now and then you want to step it up for entertaining. You want the WOW factor! And for that we look to our friend, Colleen, for her flawless looking charcuterie boards!

Colleen's vision and food artistry has no limits. From incorporating a hallowed pineapple to fresh herbs Colleen brings these boards into a new level for entertaining!  Which is way Colleen's boards are one of our favorite things!  

What says "summer" more than a farm stand???  William Wright & Co is an absolute staple for anyone - like Lucy and Ethel - who love beautiful, fresh produce  and lots of yummy treats!  Be sure to say hi to two of our favorite people - owners, Rebecca and her daughter, Wells -  when you stop by to see all that they have to offer!

And don't forget to grab your "Fig & Chocolate Gluten Free Bites"  Enjoy - we know you will!

Wm. Cole Home décor, accessories, gifts and so much more. 

Only thing to be said is we are obsessed!!! 

Lucy & Ethel absolutely fell in love with these "Squeeze De Citron" bags they found at OMO Jewels & Gifts [at the Avondale Arts Building]!  Definitely one of Our Favorite Things!  And perfect for two beach loving gals - they carry a lot and can be hosed off! Who's going to look better then Lucy and Ethel walking onto the beach with these fabulous bags???

Stop by and say hello to  owner, Joanna Papineau-Allen and check out all of the wonderful and unique finds!  OMG....OMO!

We've known Geoff & Ellen since they first started out 9 years ago as a small antique store. Today, Chic & Antique is the premier live edge custom furniture builder on the east coast! You want something unique? Stop looking and call Ellen.

Their kitchen islands are one of our favorite things!

We are obsessed with these beautiful felt fiddleheads and leaves!! Just the perfect addition to our favorite tiny little vases!! We're all about unique creations like this!

Big things come in small packages with this little shop! Sister duo Paula & Tamara's Pentimento Design in Suffield, CT has it all - apart from truly unique and beautiful flower arrangements it has one of our favorite things...

"Sweet Nothings" hand poured candles!  [If amazing was a scent it would be this.]

Do you remember getting those handknit  sweaters, mittens and hats from your Aunt Nancy? Well, Kayt is bringing back the lost art of knitting to a whole new generation.

Folks, this talented artesian is truly gifted. We commissioned a custom doorstop and this is what she came up with! If you're staying with us, be sure to take a photo of Francesco the Flamingo--our resident 'Elf on the Shelf'--and tag @mercantilenorthproperties on Instagram.

View Kayt's remarkable creations on Instagram (@progressivecrafting). It's amazeballs and one of our favorite things!

It has to be said, Christina is the most badass black vintage concert T-shirt wearing, girlie girl reader around. Looking for incredible insight? Then you have to  check her out.  

Lucy & Ethel are huge fans!  Christina & Cinnamon are one of our favorite things! 

Every once and a while you meet the most dynamic personality - Caroline is one of those people! This creative genius was able to see our vision for this website and make it a reality.

We didn't know just how lucky we were when we secured her freelance services!   Having studied Industrial Design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, she enjoys working on design strategy and branding projects. She thrives when  she can showcase her talents by developing strategic brand assets and touch points such as logo design, business cards, and promotional materials. 

You need proof? Just look to this website! 

Caroline you are awesomesauce!

A sincere thanks from Lucy & Ethel!
